Another Casco for «a Congregational = Couneil, The Old South Congregational churoh of Wor- cester, Mass., tas been ministered to for nearly two years by an eccentric Engiish divine, named W. M, Parry. His eccentricities of word and deca drew the crowds and kept them, but divided the church, The conservatives did not like such capers as their minister was inclined to show up, and they mildiy remoustrated. This did not avatl much; he continued his eccentricities as before. Taey then sugested that nis resignation would be acceptable, but his motto was “never surrender,” and ‘hat Mea did not mature. Then there sprung wp @ division in the church, and 2 members seceded and went to Meehanics’ Hali—the largest pubitc hall in the clty—witen they secured for reitzious services. Their next step was to summon &@ council to organize and re- organize them as the ‘abe nacie Congregational Ohuret of Worvester, ‘he Council, met and reor- ganized the churcn. But thea came tne hitch. The new society wanted Mr. Parry installed as their pastor. The Council sat gravely one whole day and into midnight dixcdssing the pros and cons 0% this Important matter, and then asgravely decided next day that they could not install that gent! man, ‘this occurred about ten days ago. It seemed to the unimitiated that the church was now in a@ quaudary. It mignt of course employ him as supply, but it could not have him as pastor, But that elastic and indefiuabie thing culled * Congregational usage” came to their re- lef, Seeing that the Council would not do for them what they needed, they nunted up the “stand- ards,” and tound in one of them—Punchard’s “View of Congregationalism.”” endorsed by Dr. Storrs, of B. ooklyn, in @ pretace—a sufiictent war- TaDt for installing, end ordaiuing Wf they chose, their own pastor without the aid of neighboring tui isters, ‘They 1ouud the saine warrant also in other recognized Wo: ks. On Wednesday evening lust, therefore, about 3,000 people gathered in the hail to witness the installacion. The services were conducted entirely by aymau members of the so- ciety, save the sermon, aud svine of their re- marks were received with applause, The scene throughout was of the most serio-comic character, which was heightened when Mr. Parr: stepped on the plat orm to preaci Lis own instal- lation sermon, and began with tue words, “Never skedaddle.” He remarked that having been in- vited to preach the itstaliution sermon oO teir puscor, and having accepted inat trust, he had seiected nis (ext from Acts Xx., 24—‘None ol these tcings move me.” ‘hese, he sald, were the words ol 4 man unheard, yet condemned, and therelore Situsted hike himself, He decia.ed that these ecele tastiva: councis Were becoming a disgréce to Onristianity, and a lew more Brooklyn or Worces- ter counciis will wipe them out altogether. He put Dimsel in St, Pauls piace anu surroundings, and set up Christian heroisin on such @ pinnacle that tue sudien® irequen‘ly applauded his utterances and patiently ustened fo his address until after ten O'ciock P.

Of the many charitable institutions in this city In charge of the Sisters of Charity, “St. Joseph’s Hiome for the Aged,” No. 209 West Fifteenth streets is, perhaps tne least known, although it provides for those wlio have Special claims on pubiic and private charity. The old ladies, wo in their sec- ond childhood, find kind and loving mothers in the “Home,” have, 10 most case3, done the city and State good se/vice by the faithtul discharge of the duties incidental to their positions in lile. There are at present tu the Home 160 inmaces, eignty-iour of whom are peuniless; and jor the Maintenauce of these the Sisters appeal to the Cuaritable. The present directress of St. Joseph’s Home, Sister Ulrica, is a lady of great experience in almost every department of Cnris- tian charity and usetulness. In the stormy day» of the war she was miauageress O1 tue military howpi- tui in tae Central Park, upd afterwards occupied several positions of great responsibilny in the gels lustitutions of the archdiocese of New ork, ‘rhe appointment of Sister Ulrica shows the im. Poriance o! St. Joseph’s Home as a noble and worthy Charity anu the necessit, of having a thor- Ouxhiv experienced jady at its head. Altaough ouly aiew days in charge of the “Home,’’ sister Uirica has already taken steps to esrablish a creche, where poor women who go out to work during the day can wave their oniidren cared ior during their absence irom home. It is also the Sister's inten- tion to eniarge the Howe and provide tor the wants of [riendiess Old men as effectually as she has dune for the old ladies, A Plymouth Pewholder Objects to Mr. Beecher’s Six Months’ Leave of Ab- sence, To THE EDITOR OF THR BERALD:— I was astonished to see iu the morning papers that a few persons had pro osed that Mr. Beech should be asked to Lake @ 8iX Months? vacation this spring. lrespectiully object to any such lengthy vacation.

Dr. Mendes, Yesterday Dr. De Sola Mendes preached in the synagogue in Forty-iourth street on the plague of leprosy in the house. The portion of the Penta- teuch read as the Sabbath lesson had reference to this teriibie disease, and contained, as Dr. Mendes said, @ series of medical laws for the treatment of this disease ow men or on things. These laws incul- cate holiness, cleanliness, purity, There is not the slightest support for presuming that they origi- nated in Egyptian or Jewtah superstitions. They are descriped with marvellous exactitude. They were necessitated, by the character of the lands through which the peopie of Israel journeyed. By the change of food, Climate and other things they must have been i1abie to attacks of this disorder, Hence very repressive measures to rid themseives and their homes of it were needed. Three kinds of leprosy are mentioned in the Pentateuch, to one of which—that which exists in the walls of the house—Dr, Mendes calied his congregation’s atten- tion, Former generations ridiculed the idea ot this disease affecting any one, but modern science shows that it is really dangerous, and that it arises from low vegesation and maiarial causes. It must ve eg DAMAGED’ THE LIFE OF THE PEOPLE, and hence required some attention. The Doctor then considered ims disease figuratively. He de- scribed the natural appearances of the house in which the leprosy existed, and tuen remarked that is We enter suen & house, thoug) dazzled and sur- rounded wiin its splendor, we may easily perceive that the piague is there, iti the house of ubhap- piness and contention among its inmates, Discon- tent lurks there, and the members of the house- hold watch each otver with miutaal dis- like and indulgo in mutuaf recrimimation. ‘rhe growing spirit of jeaiousy ts seen in the house turning Jamiiy affection into coldness and hate. For every action an evil motive w sous and, belug sought, is easily ouud, and irom the highest to the lowest in the house the piague spots are found in each, They spread rapidly until the vuiiding Mage crashing to the ground and lies @ mass ol rutos, Tois is the end oi the house tat Is weakened by family dissensions, It tottors and falls, the pillars break, because tne hands of tue inmates were outstreicned to destroy rather than to help each other, The house is iui! ot dis- order and dissension, How many a man tas become a bitter shame to his family and the victim of the laws Of the land because ‘he found not a home in his own family! He was treated as a stranger there, as he was nowhere else, Louk now at THE MOUSF OF CONCORD. Contentment and love are there. No one creates ul humor; Overy look is iull of love and every eye 18 expressive of pleasure. True concord must spring irom active love—trom each heurt veating for «very other heurt’s comiort and weal. One honor and one interest must antmate ail. Then, should earthly business fail and waste away, there would still be peace aud contentwent in sich @ home, Should divers calamities and troubles break apon this house there would still be leit Jaitutal hearts and willing hands to ouild it up jain, and to say, as Job said, the Lord gave and the Lord hath takén away, and blessed be the name oi tne Lord, How goodly are thy taberna- cies, O, Israel! is there a cure for this disease of leprosy im the house?

The Last Openings ot the Season. Hattsce sent Sikes OLD PROBABILITIES AND THE MODIS Se ee A Spring to Try Women’s fouli—A Peep Into a Broadway Palaco—The Newest Features in Millinery and Dressmaking— A Chapter on Gloves, The present spring has been anything but en- couraging to the modiste. There has been a regu- lar meteorological variety performance carried on during the past month under the management of Old Probabiiites, and the fair devotees of Fashion bave been in @ continua) state of perplexity, not knowing irom one day to the other whether it would be advisable or not to venture on Broadway or tite avenue tn all the bravery of spring attire. That always uncertain period, opening day, seems to have liberally diffused itself over the past two months, many large houses having deferred their annual exhibitions of spring styles until the preseat week. Could anything be more vexatious to the female mind or better calculated to test to the utmost the Job-like qualities with which that mind is generally endowed? The threatened revolution to the realms of fashion has been averted for the present, and noveltees are rare, except in the adaptation of old styles to modern ideas, So. much the better, for revolutions in dress generally lead to extravagance and the entire abandonment of taste. It is a cheering and undeniable evidence o1 the return of more pros- Perous times and of tne readjustment of the rela- tions between capital and trade to see the lively interest evinced by the ladies, this spring, in the daily expositions of fashions in the diffe.ent branches of the business known under the generat head of millinery and dressmaking. Tue eager- ness to see the styles has been so intense that in some of tne large houses the “‘opening exposition” has been continued for an enttre week—the duors all the time being so densely crowded that locomo- tlon was etfected witi muca dificulty, and sigut- seeing become a very inconvenient task. In one house, fur the conveyance of visitors from the lower to the upper floors o1 the building, two steam elevators were employed, being constantly in motion trom an early hour in the morning until nightfall, 40,000 ladies visiting the dressinaking depariment alone, independent of the vast crowds that thronged the departments of mil- linery, carpets, uphoistery, lingerie and turnishing. Certainly in some of our Broudway houses there iseverytuing that can make the femiame heart glad and turnish @ belle ora palace to their ut- most desire, Ex uno, disce omnes, Here is one stately house into which a constant stream of visitors is pour- ing, A double line of carriages, extending tor blocks, and thronged sidewalks, announce the 1act that a grand “exposition” is in progress. Eloowed and jostled and occastonally squeezed by silk and satin, you manage to get within dours, with, per- haps, a lew stray souvenirs of passementerie or lace to remind one of the throng, The entire worid seems to have been laid under contrivution in the be- wildering display of materials, which the modiste spreads before the visitors, There are robes rich and handsome enough to please the fancy and taste of the Empress of the French, and every grade and quality of the regal silks down tothe simple cambric or chintz gown, 80 neat, charming and proper for the hume toilet. In style those dresses bear evidence of the fluest Pa isian and domestic handiwork, and in the com- binations of colors 80 great a purity of taste as to defend the claim of the modiste to artistic dress- making. In the costumes shown, beside an almust Indnite variety of the ever useiul, e.egant and fashionable black, there is a predominance of the many beautiful and modest grays of the season; different shades of the late mahogany browns, the heliotrope shades, the fraise Gcrasée, or crushed strawberry, and the tour de Surenne, or tpsy color, amusingly suggestive of the semi-oblivions condition in which Surenne returns its visitors to Paris, or, in other words, of its noted convivfality. for the benefit of prospeciive brides, there are elegant wedding outilis. Suggestive of the gaieties wich succeed Lent there are dinner and receptioa toilets so beautitul as to call forth trom the ladies who surround them continued exciamations of surpr.se or delight, Many of these dresses are un- exceptionabte in cost, style, color and garniture, and of the milliuery exhibited not less is true, Among the bonacts there are some from tas deit fingers of Mesdames Virot, Chevaliie, Mentel and Thérése, Berbidre, Euphrosyne, Lesas and Camille and otuer equally noted Paris houses, and more than avoraviy Comparing with them ure tuuse timmmeJ or made by the excelient workwomeu in that line belonging to the New York estavlisument exuiviting them. ‘This season Gue distinction between house and street costumes 18 more marked than ever. blaborate trimmings and prononcie etects are aamussibie oa toilets, but while street costumes are rich wad stylish in eect tuey are simple in de- 8ig0 wud trimming.
